When it proved to be beyond big businesses ability to control
That's cute. IBM and Goldman are the big winners (directly) on cryptocurrenicies, with nVidia and other hardware providers making bank as well. It wasn't a big "fuck you" to business, it was an opportunity for them. I mean, the original people were outsiders, but in the past 5 years...?
"Can" is perfectly valid as a verb. In the used context, the sentence would read: "We store islands within islands, 'subislands'." Of course, that's missing a comma. A far more likely case isn't using "can" as a verb, and nor is it an omitted verb, but instead a typo of the word "call". Given "call"'s typographic similarity to "can", the mistake be missed in editing.
You are shifting goalposts. You said "operating illegally and subject to fines". Now you moved to a civil lawsuit. And, as I mentioned, it definitely looks bad, and the onus will be on you to demonstrate innocent reasoning. If you don't want to assume those costs, then feel free not to.
do you think it's a safe bet he's going to buy it at 20% over what a real estate agent recently valued the house at?
Leaving aside an appraisal vs. a stock price as a reflection of market value, "feeling sure" and getting a bank to extend me credit becauseit's under contract at that premium are different things.
Perhaps according to the rules the SEC are operating by, but really, this was a message to the shareholders
A message to the shareholders... which is legally prescribed by the SEC rules.
I personally read it as "I have funding sources to finance this".
Right. I have funding sources who have contractually committed to finance this. Which he didn't.
Even if you misunderstood what Musk said, he made a public statement that manipulated the stock and was false. If he tweeted "New Tesla Air-Lithium batteries have same energy density as gas, recharge in 5 minutes, shipping 2019" and was lying, you would understand the lawsuit, right?
Even if the Saudi Sovereign Wealth Fund did tell Musk they wanted to buy, do you think they offered 420? Because otherwise it's like if Bill Gates keeps asking to buy my house. I cannot say "I have a solid deal to sell my house for a billion dollars." Him wanting to buy it and having that much money does not mean he wants to buy it at that price
Depends on your definition of "secured".
It's not a linguistic argument. When you claim funding is secured, and you are talking about a financial transaction, you are making a very specific claim. If it had been secured, Musk would have sat with the SEC in a room, showed them the documentation, and been done. He wouldn't have taken a plea for no reason.
In other words, if your only criteria is hiring whomever best for the job, you will likely be operating illegally and subject to fines and lawsuits.
This is just nonsense. It my be that if you only hired white people you would be (rightly) given a lot of scrutiny. Because it looks pretty damn racist. But if you can demonstrate reasonable, objective reasons related to the job that you only hired white people (no examples occur to me), you should be fine.
Shorting Tesla has little to do with believing the Tesla is a bad car. It's saying it's a bad (or overvalued) business. Lots of superior.things go out of business (see, BetaMax). But go ahead, buy the stock because you personally lock the car. Also, when we play poker, don't forget to bet based on how lucky you feel the cards are, and if they are your favorite numbers.
Please, $10billion dollars isn't worth losing on the possible inability to buy the next startups they want. If the founders are idealists, they'll feel comfortable (and may even accept lower offers) selling to Google when they may have otherwise pushed against them.
As China gets more and more intermeshed with the US economy, the ways are increasing dramatically. I mean, Google can probably fuck with my life more than the government (not than the government could but what the government would). But, to answer your question, what do you think will happen when, e.g. Bank of America agrees to implement world-wide social credit scores to access Chinese customers.
Eventually it WILL be better for everyone that EVERYONE be mandated to have a self-driving car.
Self-driving car is cool. Car that reports everywhere you go to Google, because they don't have enough information about you, is very much not cool./p.
Amazingly, they said seeding was a human intensive thing. When planting wheat, those John Deere planters use GPS and microchips to decide where precisely to put each seed (programmed taking into account changing soil type, etc.). While driving over a many acre farm.
Leafy greens are easy and fast to grow. Like 8x as many harvests a year fast and pretty easy to grow. Also, there's not a lot of lost biomass (e.g. with a tree for avocados or a bush for berries) that needs to be preserved year over year.
You start with easy and many iterations, and move to the hard stuff later.
it's called "welcome to the real world", where you need to learn to live and act like and adult, and live within your means.
I agree. And a great way people learn most things is in school or with classes. I mean, no one said to you "welcome to the real world, there's physics, figure it out".
Correct, I almost certainly don't want FEMA messages. I'm not sure the use case where it would be helpful, and in an emergency my phone is probably going to be put away. If my phone makes noise during a hurricane, I would expect it to be a friend/family member in trouble.

Not anymore. FTFA:

And startups. Mostly startups.
Oh, those are in the US too. But they're called sin taxes and the money just goes into the general fund for whatever.

It's perfectly legal and acceptable to work for two employers.
While that is true, if they don't accept rides, they get kicked off the app. Oh, that's an obligation.

These are good uses for remote-view cameras. These are not good uses for Facebook operated remote-view cameras.
Why would you think he didn't want the memo to leak. This isn't a surprising memo with secrets. It leaking is good for him and the Snapchat company.

Umm... except sue.
Not to electronics sold inside the US. And, since that's where I buy my electronics, that's what I care about.
Also, you know, I'd rather the US have my data than the Chinese. I'd prefer neither, but between the two, definitely the US.

America tolerates idiots, and allows them to speak. We don't need to censor our dumbest three citizens to impress some foreigner.
We have tanks and ICBMs and stuff to impress foreigners.
You can opt out of Amber and other alerts. But not this one. That's a difference.
